human skin provides a noninvasive method to monitor changes in the stratum corneum barrier function of the
skin, providing an excellent objective method for evaluation of wound healing.51 The 8 blister sites were assessed daily for 8 days following removal of the blister chambers50 and then again
on day 12, along with daily control values from adjacent nonwounded
skin; after subtracting the average control values from the average daily measurement, the 90 % standard for healing was based
on reaching 90 % of the day 1 measures.
